PXI Chassis Cooling Capacity Guidelines
White Papers
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. PXIe chassis deliver the flexibility, compatibility, and performance required for demanding applications. With multiple PXIe/PXI hybrid slots, they give the system designer flexibility to mix and match the number and location of PXIe and hybrid-compatible modules. However, the combination of modules and location in the chassis can impact the airflow and temperature within the chassis. Maintaining an appropriate temperature within the chassis and modules while not being affected by the fan noise for your environment is important in achieving the highest efficiency in cooling the PXIe chassis. This paper helps you understand the specifications, shows examples of efficiency, and gives guidelines on how to efficiently cool the chassis.
